Selena Gomez has opened up about her recent kidney transplant.

She underwent her transplant due to her ongoing battle with Lupus. Selena broke the news back in the middle of September on Instagram, when she posted a snap of her and her best friend Francia Raisa from their hospital beds.

Both Selena and Francia have sat down with NBC's The Today Show to talk about it.

'I had arthritis. My kidneys were shutting down. My mentality was just to keep going', said Selena.

Francia revealed when she found out that Selena was very ill.

'One day she came home, and she was emotional. I hadn't asked anything. I knew that she hadn't been feeling well. She couldn't open a water bottle one day and she chucked it and just started crying. I was like, 'Of course I'll get tested.'
